I recently had baby boy #2! If you're like me, you like to keep little momentos from important events in your life all while avoiding CLUTTER! I created these shadowboxes for each of the boys to display in the nursery. This project would also be great for a wedding, engagement, prom or any other exciting event that you want to remember!
What you need:
Shadowbox (I got mine from Target. You can find them at craft stores too!)
Double sided tape or pins
Momentos
I like this shadowbox from Target because it has black felt as the background. Other shadowboxes have plain cardboard, which means more work for me!
Momentos I used: hospital ID bracelets for Mommy, Daddy & Baby, footprints, card from hospital bassinet, hat from hospital, pictures
I hope the boys appreciate these little keepsakes when they get older & we tell them about the day they were born!

What a cute idea! I've saved so many of these things from my kids, and I didn't have anything to do with them. I hope I'll be able to find all those mementos!
All my kids' mementos are haphazardly tossed in dresser drawers! I hope i can find mine too and make some shadowboxes like Molly!
Thanks Jordan!

Hi Molly,
Love this! Where did you get that frame. I am not so crafty but I love this so much I will try it. Thanks,Holly
Thank you Molly! This will be my first crafty. Wonderful idea.
@Holly, I got it at Target! I've also seen some at AC Moore and Michaels. Good Luck!
Love this!! I will defiantly be putting one of these together instead of having all of my son's things in a bag in the closet! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Thank you so much for posting this idea. I had placed all the keepsakes in a box for my boys. I already bought the shadowboxes and will do it soon. I also thought to add ultrasound pictures to the mix.
